The next time your in Austin 10.28.11

You have to visit the Corner Shoppe. I went to Austin with one goal… To go home with a set of antlers. As soon as I arrived I found a set at a local thrift store but decided to hold off and do some more searching. I found my self in a mens wear shop on South Congress called STAG and there I saw it… A stuffed fox on the counter.

I asked… where can one get a fine animal like this? They shared a secret! “The Corner Shoppe, they buy and sell taxidermy from museums and their collection is on display for purchase in a dirt lot under tents and in shipping containers”.  They weren’t kidding, this place is a gold mine. I left with a set of deer antlers and a Cow hide rug but I wanted everything! Next time your in Austin you have visit. Photos can’t capture the glory of this place.
